Bruce: Since you ask for opinions:

I suggest that you make up your mind which pronoun you want to use to describe yourself.

Your introductory paragraph alone contains four grammatical persons: you begin with the third person singular (in fact your first sentence uses the third plural also, implicit in the verbal form: "Books at Star Dot Star is passionate about books, always *have* been"); you then switch to the first person singular ("I supply..."), immediately switching again to the plural ("Our specialties...")

Good points. That's what I get for rushing to get it started.


cheers
